With Facebook's video-calling feature, you have the option of chatting with friends or business associates while seeing what's going on in the background of their lives. If you're using the feature for business, you may find a time when you want to alter the sound of your voice to make it more appealing to a client or potential customer. To accomplish this, software that allows you to change your voice comes in handy. Once you've downloaded the right application, it's simple to plug it in to Facebook's video-calling interface.

1. Browse and then download the voice-changing application of your choice. Options include Voice Changer Software, MorphVOX Junior 2.7.5 and Fake Voice. After clicking the "Download" button from the website of your chosen software, follow the onscreen instructions to download the application to your computer.

2. Open the voice-changing software and follow the prompts to adjust the pitch, timbre or volume of your voice. When you have created a voice setting that satisfies you, click "Save Settings" or a similar function.

3. Log in to Facebook with your username and password. Navigate to your home page by clicking "Home" from any Facebook page.

4. Click on the name of a friend in the list of online friends along the right side of the page and then click the video camera icon near the top right of the chat window that appears. This opens the video chat window.

5. Click the "Microphone" drop-down menu near the bottom of the chat window and select the microphone that corresponds to the voice-changing software you are using. For example, the Voice Changer application's microphone appears as "Avnex Virtual Audio Device." When this microphone is enabled, the voice settings you created within the voice-changing program are applied to your Facebook video chat.

Tip

If you do not already have video calling enabled on your Facebook account, do so by clicking "Get Started" from Facebook's Video Calling Web page.
